FFmpeg is often called the Swiss Army knife of video transcoding/streaming. It is one of the most popular multimedia frameworks out there, which is free, open-source, and cross-platform. FFmpeg is used by many popular and important applications and services, such as YouTube, iTunes, and VLC.
For its support of a wide range of codecs and containers, FFmpeg is the most commonly used tool for transcoding/converting audio/video from one format to another. It has a huge collection of filters that can be combined to manipulate and transform media in many different ways.
I have been working with FFmpeg for quite a while now. When I started, I found it a bit difficult to understand how it works. Most of the resources I found were very detailed reference-like documentations which can be a bit difficult to go through for a beginner in audio/video processing like me that I was. I looked for a tutorial-style basic introduction to the concepts, but could not really find one. Years later, when I had ample opportunity and time to work with FFmpeg and had a clearer picture of the concepts, I put together a course on Udemy with diagrams, examples, and hands-on video demos to introduce not just FFmpeg, but the basics of audio/video and transcoding in general. It has now become a featured course on Udemy and a bestseller.
